Wow!!!!! Just....wow, lol!You can squirt some food coloring in her vent and the color will transfer to a few eggs. It doesn't last forever, just makes a few marks on the egg.

Well, I went out expecting that the RIR laid her egg, but it was Raven -- the BR that's been laying for a while. A nice "bigger" egg, so it has increased in size a bit.
An Isbar is a Scandinavian breed and very different from a Cream Legbar.
Isbar are not barred (not sure where the "bar" part comes from...probably something in the Scandinavian language).
Isbar are rare (so rare that I had trouble with inbreed lines and will not work forward with them).
They lay a beautiful rich sea green egg similar to the Legbar color.
I'm working with Cream Legbars now (with my sweet Barnevelder rooster). I hope to add Wheaten Ameraucanas in the near future.

I have 6 hens that are almost 6 months old. I received the 1st egg almost a month ago. I now get 3 a day. I have caught two of the hens the nest. I have know idea if the same hens are laying an egg a day. My question is once they start to lay do that give me one a day, or could all of them be laying but not daily. This breed is suppose to give an egg a day but I do not know if once they start is it one a day from that point on. I have sexlings. I keep thinking I only have 3 hens laying and my other three are not stepping up.
You had a hen lay 3 eggs in a day. Man I need a couple of her.The RIR laid her egg! It had a tiny bit of blood on it, so I checked her vent and it looks ok. That makes 3 eggs today and Mocha the EE is about to lay. The egg carton fills up pretty quick now and I still have 5 girls not laying yet. Made potato salad with a bunch the other day.
Sea green eggs sounds so pretty. Sorry you had trouble with inbreeds. Perhaps they will be easier to acquire someday.

It looks like we got a second layer! We haven't had any for a couple of days (but I've been renovating a coop and it's greeting dark earlier . . .) but today I heard the crow that says she laid an egg and I just found these in the bushes. Different colors! Don't give up!

They're 24 week old EEs. One has been laying for over a month. I'd about decided the others were going to wait for spring! We're in the Pacific Northwest and the days are already getting kinda short.How old are your hens?
